And he said to all, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will save it. For what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses or forfeits himself? For whoever is ashamed of me and of my words, of him will the Son of Man be ashamed when he comes in his glory and the glory of the Father and of the holy angels. Luke 9:23-26
I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. Galations 2:20
For you are free, yet you are God’s slaves…. 1 Peter 2:16
…As slaves of Christ, do the will of God with all your heart. Ephesians 6:6
Now you are free from your slavery to sin, and you have become slaves to righteous living. Because of the weakness of your human nature, I am using the illustration of slavery to help you understand all this. Previously, you let yourselves be slaves to impurity and lawlessness, which led ever deeper into sin. Now you must give yourselves to be slaves to righteous living so that you will become holy. Romans 6:18-19
But now you are free from the power of sin and have become slaves of God. Now you do those things that lead to holiness and result in eternal life. Romans 6:22
There’s a me that I don’t really like
A me that says I’m
In control til the day that I die
And I dont know why
I push I pull I fight I fall
I end up crawling back to
That place where I figure it out
That I, that I, that I
I’M SECOND TO ONE
REDEEMER, THE WAY, THE LIGHT
I’M SECOND TO ONE
THE SAVIOR
NO COMPROMISE
I’M LAYING EVERYTHING
AT THE FOOT OF THE CROSS
MY PRIDE, MY LIFE, MY ALL
I AM SECOND TO ONE
AND HE IS SECOND TO NONE
There’s a change when I swallow my pride
And I surrender
There’s a peace when I open my eyes
Because I remember
To live’s to die
To fall’s to rise
To kneel is to find the Savior
Here I am and I’ve figured it out
Tonight tonight tonight…
He said “You come alive
When you lose your life”
so I lay it down
Yeah I surrender all
